Category 5 confusion

[divawife]

Disney site will give me Category 5C and Dreams Unlimited will give me Category 5E.

I see many descriptions of different categories (on DIS and others) but cannot figure out what the difference is except Deck location? 5E is Deck 5 and 5C is Deck 7 I believe.

What else can you all tell about this? Does one category have the white verandah railing and not the plexiglass? If so which one? Any pics of the white railing?

Any info on which is easier to navigate from to the rest of the ship? We will have connecting cabins if that is any help in finding more info.

I am leaning towards Dreams Unlimited because of the onboard credit.

Any info is very welcome!

Thank you

All Cat. 5 staterooms are exactly the same size and the price increases as you go to a higher deck on the ship. The one difference, the 5E has an extended verandah which is HUGE. All Cat. 5 staterooms have a clear Plexiglas verandah.

Both have the same interrior size. They are separated by about 3 decks. E=Deck 5 and C=Deck 7. There are some Cat. 5E that have double sized verandahs of all the other cat. 5 staterooms. However, when I was walking around at night, I felt the floor rumble a lot on deck 5. So, What is more important, serenity or a larger verandah? Or even price?

I stayed in stateroom #5544 and felt no rumbling of any kind. My room was absolutely quiet and I loved the location and the HUGE verandah.

Is there a listing of which 5E's have the extended verandah?

Thank you! Is it possible to walk from one end of deck 5 to the other? It looks like you can on the map but I know that might not be the case.
